Visited with my mum last week and honestly, it’s hard to put into words. The small fortress is chilling, especially the cells—you can almost feel the past in the air. Our guide was super passionate (sometimes talked a bit fast tho, so I missed some bits). Weather was grey and moody which kinda fit the place. Bus was comfy, but fyi there’s not really anywhere to grab a snack til you’re back in town, so pack something if ur like me and get hangry. Left feeling thoughtful and a bit heavy, but learned a lot.

Went solo, which I think was the right call. The Terezin fortress is sobering but necessary, and the ghetto museum had so much detail (I def could’ve spent more time there, honestly—felt a bit rushed). Our bus group was international and the guide switched between languages, which was kinda impressive but made it tricky to follow sometimes. Also, the group size was bigger than I’d hoped. Still, the experience sticks with me.

My partner and I booked this because we’re both history nerds. The small fortress was fascinating—creepy in the best way. Our guide was funny, which felt weird at first, but she balanced the mood well. Liked the personal stories she shared. It got a bit crowded in the museum section, but that’s probably just how it is. Would do it again (with more snacks next time!).

Take a half-day trip to Terezín, less than an hour from Prague, with round-trip transfers that bring you directly to the memorial site.

Walk through the complex with a guide who explains how each part of Terezín functioned during the war.

Enter the Large Fortress to see its parade grounds, barracks, and tunnels while learning about the camp’s administration and its transformation during the occupation.

Explore the Small Fortress, stepping into former cells and interrogation rooms that reveal the daily reality of the Gestapo prison.

Visit the Ghetto Museum, where exhibits, testimonies, and artifacts trace the experiences of the Jewish prisoners held in Terezín.

Choose your preferred guide language and spend time across all three sites, with a bonus ticket to the Kingdom of Railways included for a later visit in Prague.

We did this on a cold, rainy day—somehow felt appropriate. The tour is structured, but you get enough free time at the memorials to walk around. The guide was sweet and answered lots of questions, even though she had to repeat herself a bunch (big group probs). The bus was clean, and the driver waited for us when we got lost at the last stop. Appreciate that!

What to bring

Bring a valid ID card or your passport with you, as it will be needed for verification before the tour sets off.

Choose comfortable, closed-toe shoes to navigate through the outdoor areas, uneven grounds, and long interior corridors comfortably.

Dress in layers, since much of the experience takes place outside, and it is often cooler and windier than in Prague.

What’s not allowed

Avoid bringing large luggage or oversized bags; only small personal items are permitted.

Do not use flash photography, as it can damage sensitive exhibits and is strictly forbidden.

Refrain from speaking loudly or engaging in disruptive behavior, as the memorial is a solemn place intended for quiet reflection.

Accessibility

This tour is not suitable for wheelchair users because the barracks and underground sections feature uneven floors, steep steps, and tight passageways that can be difficult to navigate.

Additional information

The tour departs each day at 8:45am, so planning to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early will help ensure a smooth check-in process.

The drive from Prague to Terezín takes roughly one hour, though this may vary with traffic.

The Terezín Crematorium is closed on Sundays and cannot be visited on that day.

Your guide will share detailed historical information throughout the visit, and some parts of the tour may be emotionally intense due to the nature of the memorial.

Your voucher will be emailed to you shortly.

Display the voucher on your mobile phone with a valid photo ID at the starting point.

Please check your final voucher for the starting point details & specific instructions.
